Nothing 4 Nothing

Someone, the "City" perhaps, has painted pink dots on the curb along our street. The dots are about 15 feet apart. I'm curious what will happen next. Dots of any color painted by the "City" can't mean anything good. lol
I wasn't being a snoop, I was at my computer and I watched an old man who walked with a cane steal this afternoon. After the people across the street had their yard sale they put what was left in boxes set them on their front lawn for Goodwill to pick up. Before the Goodwill truck arrived this old man looked through all the boxes and took whatever he wanted... I saw him take away 4 long stem glasses, candle holders etc etc he even stole a cloth bag to carry away his items ! Then he walked slowly down the street. If the stuff was set out for the garbage to take away I wouldn't call it stealing...I don't really know if I'd consider this stealing...would you? The items were unwanted and he was OLD.
